Just took a second or two and it was over. When usiNG the word "panic" I think we need to add context. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Don't see any panic in Chiang Rai. Apparently many rural Thais don't have the money to stock up anyway. Business is down in the more expensive restaurants, a couple of the stalls in the Food Court at Big C have closed. Daily dalat nats are still going strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post christophe75 Posted March 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2020 He looks tired. Aged. He has the most s.... job possible right now. At night, he's dreaming of the good old times, when he was "general", surrounded by his fellow soldiers. Life was simple. His only concerns were : -which uniform should i put today ? -what will be the menu at the cantine today ? Anyway. When a pseudo prime minister says "do not panic". It's of course time to panic. Political PR anti-BS 101. The thai governement is inane. And totally incapable to manage such a crisis. I wrote it several weeks earlier : the virus could be their... downfall. The health consequences are ridiculous... What matters are the economic and the political consequences... 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHAT ABOUT RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING DECISIVE MEASURES Quickly? What about ramifications of Ministers lack of working together(obvious), posting stupid comments blaming others for the spread? BIG JOK PAY IT!!! The ramifications which he has to consider are the effects upon those who own and benefit from the businesses which would have to close. Whole swathes of businesses would have to cease operations, and amongst their owners, and those who draw income from them, are many who are amongst those who put him in power - who own him politically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but the French have the bidet (which they invented) which is just as good. You can also wash your hands and feet in them. I honestly cannot figure out what all the panic is regarding toilet paper. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
